Entrepreneur in the making through e-Learning

Inspired to own her business in hospitality sector in the next 5 years, Josephine is always traveling either for work or for passion to explore different countries and cultures.

She was introduced to PurpleTrain.com in Jakarta from her friend and she took about a week after researching the features of PurpleTrain.com before signing up her Master of Business Administration awarded by the University of Wales.

Prompt service, advice and well-taken care in the administration aspects are just some other reasons other than the programme structure that made up Josephine's mind.

Students are supported by a dedicated team of operations staff who takes care of everything from registration to examinations. There is also a 24-hour Helpdesk Hotline, which students can call for any form of assistance anytime and anywhere.

"One of the interesting appeals of e-Learning is the abilities to connect to the university's resources without being physically on the campus. With its flexibility, I can access my study materials regardless of where I am physically in," said Josephine Alexandra.

Motivation, commitment and support from both employer and family have made it possible for Josephine to concentrate on her studies. As her work revolves with all aspects of business, the course has taught her to think globally.
